Choosing the right rate of nitrogen for a corn crop can be tricky: the soil will mineralize some, the fertilizer will provide some, and biological sources, such as manure, will offer some N as well. What tools exist to help choose the right rate, and should an N addition be protected?
On this episode of The Agronomists, host Lyndsey Smith is joined by Colin Elgie of OMAFA and Adam Funk of Borderline Agriculture Inc. to discuss the timing of sidedress applications on corn, how previous weather impacts timing and rate, how to determine rates with precision, and why protecting N might be well worth it.
